Exercise reveals all

I'm assigning gym exercises to quantify how much I'm affected by unfortunate events.

Start with a daily baseline of 2 miles, before and after weights.
 Did I have to eat out yesterday because I didn't have time to cook? +1 mile.
 Did I have a tough test that day, spending the entire time oscillating between two questions and four choices? +2 miles.
Bad experience with the unfriendly optometrist, who ironically failed to make eye contact through the entire exam?  Pshhh...I only need an extra pullup to get over that.

Sometimes, things happen that I think would bother me more. Other times, I space out so much and look up to find that I'm on mile six.  Going to the gym helps me confirm how deep or shallow these annoyances truly go.
